Wisdom Motor is cooperating with Abu Dhabi’s Integrated Transport Centre (ITC) of the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) to bring the GCC’s first Zero-emission hydrogen city bus to the UAE capital.
This collaboration, facilitated through its distributor EGME (part of the Al Fahim Group), aims to introduce new green mobility solutions to the Emirate, marking a significant step in the region’s journey towards sustainability.
Under this strategic partnership, Wisdom Motor will contribute to the ITC’s Green Bus Assessment Programme, aligning with the region’s efforts to embrace sustainable practices. This collaboration signifies Wisdom Motor’s entry into the GCC market, introducing the first 12-Meter Hydrogen City Bus in the region.
Cliff Zhang, Chairman of Wisdom Motor and Chairman of Templewater, the company’s investor, expressed pride in partnering with the ITC. This cooperation not only underscores Wisdom Motor’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge, customised hydrogen-powered vehicles but also highlights the company’s dedication to promoting sustainable mobility solutions globally.
As a relatively young company, Wisdom Motor’s entrance into the UAE market is a testament to its innovative approach and technological capabilities. The company, headquartered in Hong Kong, has rapidly expanded its global footprint, supplying advanced commercial vehicles to multiple countries, including the UK, Germany, France, the Nordics, Australia, Japan, and Korea.
Wisdom Motor’s hydrogen-powered vehicles potentially represents a significant advancement in the use of the green technology in the UAE.
Hydrogen fuel offers numerous advantages for long-distance commercial transportation, being lightweight and having nearly three times the energy density of diesel per unit of mass, while producing zero emissions. The company’s commitment to developing the necessary infrastructure for hydrogen fuel highlights its role in shaping a zero-emission future.
In addition to this latest venture, Wisdom Motor has already made significant strides in its home base of Hong Kong, where it introduced the first hydrogen-powered double-decker bus, also a world first in terms of being a tri-axle double-decker bus.
